GERI A. SAMS, Procurement Director Publish: Augusta Chronicle Metro Courier cc: Tameka Allen Drew Goins Jerry Delaughter Stanley Aye February 26, March 5, 12, 19, 2009 March 4, 2009 Interim Deputy Administrator Utilities Department Utilities Department Utilities Department I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .., I SEALED BIDS SELECTION METHOD A method for submitting a bid to perform work on a proposed contract. In general, each party interested submits a bid in a sealed envelope, and all such bids are opened at the same time and the most favorable responsible bid is accepted. All bid responses will be retained as property of Augusta-Richmond County. Conditions for use. All contracts of Augusta-Richmond County shall be awarded by competitive sealed bidding except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this article (see ~ 1-10-45 - Sealed Proposals; 1-10-46 - Professional Services; 1-10-47 - Quotations; 1-10-49 - Sole Source Procurement; and 1-10-50 - Emergency Procurements, of this chapter). Invitation for bids and specifications. An invitation for bids shall be issued by the Procurement Office and shall include specifications prepared in accordance with Article 4 (Product Specifications), and all contractual terms and conditions, applicable to the procurement. Pre-bid conference and addendum. A conference to be conducted by the Procurement Director and using agency head, if appropriate, hearing will be scheduled at least five (5) working days before receipt of bids. While the pre-bid conference is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended and widely used to further acquaint interested bidders with the bid requirements and items to be purchased and vendor input. Any substantive changes to specifications resulting from the pre-bid conference or other vendor/contractor sessions shall be documented in an addendum and communicated to all bidders registered for the procurement action. Bid opening. Sealed Bids shall be opened publicly in the presence of one or more witnesses at the time and place designated in the public notice and invitation for bids, The amount of each bid, and such other relevant information as the Procurement Director deems appropriate, together with the name of each bidder shall be recorded; the record and each bid shall be open to public inspection in accordance with ~ 1-10-5 (Public Access to Procurement Information). Bid acceptance and bid evaluation. Provided that the bids are delivered to the Procurement Director at the time, place, and under the conditions contained in the Invitation for Bids, the bids shall be conditionally accepted without ,alteration or correction pending evaluation. Bids shall be evaluated based on the requirements set forth in the invitation for bids, which may include bidder responsiveness, capability and past performance, and criteria to determine acceptability such as inspection, testing, quality workmanship, delivery, and suitability for a particular purpose. Those criteria that will affect the bid price and be consldered in evaluation for award shall be objective and clearly measurable, including but not limited to discounts, transportation costs, and total or life cycle costs. The main advantage of using life-cycle costing is that both initial costs and related costs for the life of the item are considered. When the criterion for awarding the contract is based on lowest responsive bidder, it may mean that the contract specifications are just minimally complied with. Selecting of the lowest bidder could result in a higher incidence of maintenance, and down-time could eat up any savings made if the Procurement process considers only the initial cost. Under no circumstance will anv bid be accepted by fax or em ail. All bids must be labeled and received in the Procurement office by the due date and time. There will be no exceptions made for any late. lost by the post office or express carrier. or misdirected submittals. Please be aware that vendors shall be removed from the vendor list for the following reasons: (1) Declining to offer bids for the period of time listed in specifications. (2) Suspension for the following shall not be for less than three (3) months or more thim three (3) years: (a) Failing to satisfactorily meet terms, agreements, or contracts made with the Procurement department or the using agency. (b) Being convicted of criminal offenses in obtaining contracts or convicted of embezzlement, violation of state or federal anti-trust statutes, or any other crime which indicates a lack of business integrity or honesty. ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I (c) Violating contract provisions or failing to perform without good cause or any other cause which the Procurement Director deems to be so serious as to affect the responsibility of a contractor, including disbarment or suspension from a vendor list by another government entity. PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL SUPPLIERS AND CONTRACTORS (a) Augusta encourages the use of local suppliers of goods, services and construction products whenever possible. Augusta also vigorously supports the advantages of an open competitive market place. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to mean that the City Administrator or Purchasing Director is restricted in any way from seeking formal bids or proposals from outside the Augusta market area. (b) When the quotation or informal bids selection method is used by the Purchasing Director or using agency head to seek firms to quote on Augusta commodity, service and construction products, local firms should be contacted, if possible, first. Then if the Purchasing Director or using agency head believes that there may not be at least three qualified informal bidders, quotes shall be sought from outside the Augusta market area. (c) In the event of a tie of bid (see 1-10-43 (h)), when all other factors are equal, the City Administrator is encouraged to select the bid from within the local market area. The City Administrator shall retain the flexibility to make the award of contract to a bidder outside of the local market area if evidence supports collusive bidding in favor of a local source. (d) The local vendor preference policy shall be applied when the lowest local bidder is within 5% or $10,000, whichever is less, of the lowest non-local bidder. The lowest local bidder will be allowed to match the bid of the lowest non-local bidder; if matched, the lowest local bidder will be awarded the contract. For purposes of this section, "local bidder" shall mean a business which: 1) Has had a fixed office or distribution point located in and having a street address within Augusta for at least six (6) months immediately prior to the issuance of the request for competitive bids or request for proposals by Augusta; and 2) Holds any business license required by the Augusta-Richmond County Code and 3) Employs at least one (1) full time employee, or two (2) part time employees whose primary residence is in Augusta, or if the business has no employees, the business shall be at least fifty percent (50%) owned by one or more persons whose primary residence is in Augusta. e) The Purchasing Director shall develop a program to routinely search out local firms that offer products or services which Augusta may purchase and encourage such firms to place themselves on the bidder's list. (f) The Purchasing Director shall work closely with Augusta's Disadvantaged Businesses. (g) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to mean that the City Administrator may abrogate the provisions of O.C.G.A. 36-10-1 through 36-10-5, Public Works Contracts. This provision of the State Code requires that all County public works contracts of $20,000 or more as defined therein, be publicly advertised before letting out the contract to the lowest bidder. Further, nothing in this section shall be interpreted to mean the City Administrator may abrogate the provisions of the Augusta-Richmond County Code requiring public advertising before letting certain contracts." Section 2. This Ordinance shall become effective upon adoption. Section 3, All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed. Section 4. If any section, provision, or clause of any part of this Ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional, or if the provisions of any part of this Ordinance as applied to any particular situation or set of circumstances be declared invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity shall not be construed to affect portions of this Ordinance not so held to be invalid, or the application of this Ordinance to other circumstances not so held to be invalid. It is hereby declared as the intent that this Ordinance would have been adopted had such invalid portion not be included herein. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON VENDORS. The Department Head and/or the Administrator is directed to provide the bid amount as submitted, information concerning the vendor's previous performance, the service and quality of the products offered, the availability of the goods and serVices when needed, adherence to delivery schedules, and other criteria pertinent to that particular item, on vendors who have submitted bids, proposals, or contracts for the Commission's consideration. The information is to be included in the backup documents for the Commission's consideration in awarding the contract. INSPECTION OF PURCHASES. The Procurement agent in conjunction with the using agency or department head shall inspect, or supervise the inspection of, all deliveries of materials, supplies or contractual services to determine their conformance with the specifications set forth in the pertinent purchase order or contract. The Procurement agent may require chemical and physical tests of samples submitted with bids and samples of deliveries, which examinations are necessary to determine quality of the samples and conformance with specifications. Letting the contract. The contract shall be awarded or let in accordance with procedures set forth herein. Award shall occur with reasonable promptness by appropriate written notice to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the invitation for bids. In addition to price and other material factors, the Procurement Director, in consultation with the using agency, shall consider the following in the context of award recommendations: (1) The ability, capacity, and skill of the bidder to perform, the contract or provide the services required, (2) The capability of the bidder to perform the contract or provide the service promptly, or within the time specified, without delay or interference, (3) The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the bidder, (4) The quality of performance on previous contracts, (5) The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and ordinances relating to the contract or services, (6) The sufficiency of the financial resources of the bidder relating to his ability to perform the contract, (7) The quality, availability, and adaptability of the supplies or services to the particular use required, (8) The number and scope of conditions attached to the bid by the bidder, and (9) Service availability may be considered in determining the most responsible bid, and the bidders shall be required to submit information concerning their ability to service and maintain the product of the equipment. Award to other than low bidder. When the award is not given to the lowest bidder, a full and complete statement of the reasons for placing the purchase order or other contract elsewhere shall be prepared and signed by the Procurement Director and/or Administrator and made part of the record file for audit proposes. It is the wish of the Owner that minority businesses are given the opportunity to BID on the various parts of the work. This desire on the part of the Owner is not intended to restrict or limit com petitive bidding or to increase the cost of the work. The Owner supports a healthy free market system that seeks to include responsible businesses and provide ample opportunity for business growth and development.

Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, no interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance, progress, commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER.; CONTRACTOR's 'sole and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay ofany aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in' accordancewiththe procedures set forth herein. ; ~ 35 K:1420302\AdminISpecsISpecs-Front EndlFront End -Remainder\2002GENCOND.doc I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Uncovering Work: 13.8. If any Work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of PROFESSIONAL, the Work shall, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation, inspection, testing or approval and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.9. If PROFESSIONAL considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by PROFESSIONAL or inspected or tested by others. CONTRACTOR, at PROFESSIONAL's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as PROFESSIONAL may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, and consequential costs of such uncovering, - exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONAls), and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefore as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price, or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACfOR may make a claim therefore as provided in Articles 11 and 12. Owner May Stop the Work: 13.10. When Work is defective or when CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, or make prompt payments to Subcontractors for labor, materials, or equipment,' or if CONTRACTOR violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work until the cause for such order has been eliminated. However, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shallchave no right to claim an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph. Correction or Removal of Defective Work: 13.11. When directed by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and as specified by PROFESSIONAL, either correct the defective Work whether fabricated, installed, or completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not correct such defective Work or remove and replace such defective Work within a reasonable time, all as specified in a written notice from PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may have the deficiency corrected. All direct and indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from payment to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will also bear the expense of correcting or removing and replacing all Work of others destroyed or damaged by the correction,. removal, or replacement of the defective Work. 37 K:1420302IAdmin\Specs\Specs-Front EndlFront End -Remainder\2002GENCOND.doc I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Neglected Work by CONTRACTOR 13.15. If CONTRACTOR neglects to execute the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including any requirements of the progress schedule, PROFESSIONAL may direct CONTRACTOR to submit a recovery plan and take specific corrective actions including, but not limited to, employing additional workmen, and/or equipment, and working extended hours and additional days, all at no cost to OWNER in order to put the Work back on schedule. If CONTRACTOR fails to correct the deficiency or take appropriate corrective action, OWNER may terminate the contract or CONTRACTOR's right to proceed with that portion of Work and have the Work done by others. The cost of completion under such procedure shall be charged against CONTRACTOR. A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments due CONTRACTOR are not sufficient to cover such amount, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. 13.16. Should CONTRACTOR work overtime, weekends or holidays to regain the schedule, all costs to OWNER of associated inspection, construction management and resident PROFESSIONAls shall be identified to CONTRACTOR and the Contract Price reduced by a like amount via Change Order. 39 K:1420302\AdminISpecs\Specs-Front End\Front End -RemainderI2002GENCOND.doc I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. . 14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make 5!uch representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement. 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by W~itten Amendment or Change Order. 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or 14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefore. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections. 'PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER. notify CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefore. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER 41 K:1420302\Admin\SpecsISpecs-Front EndlFront End -RemainderI2002GENCOND,doc 1 I 1 I I 1 1 1 ',1 "I" '1 1 1 1 1 I I I 1 14.10.4.

Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, PROFESSIONAL will make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such deficiencies. Final Application for Payment: 14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of PROFESSIONAL and OWNER and delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by 5.2, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents and other documents, CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required, (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or waivers of liens and as approved by County, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or release in full and an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor' or supplier fails to furnish such 'a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any lien. 14.12.1. No application for final payment will be accepted by' OWNER until approved as-built documents by CONTRACTOR are accepted and approved by PROFESSIONAL. 14.12.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these contract do~uments to the contrary, OWNER and PROFESSIONAL are under no duty or obligation whatsoever to any vendor, materials provider, Subcontractor, laborer or other party to ensure that payments due and owing by CONTRACTOR to any of them are or will be made. Such parties shall rely only on CONTRACTOR's surety bonds for remedy of nonpayment by him. CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and resolve all claims made by Subcontractors, indemnifying OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for all claims arising from or resulting from Subcontractor or supplier or material men or laborer services in connection with this project. 14.12.3. General Indemnity: CONTRACTOR shall indemnify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for any damages sustained including lost profits resulting from CONTRACTOR's failure or refusal to perform the work required by these contract documents. Final Payment and Acceptance: 14.13. If, on the basis of PROFESSIONAL's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and PROFESSIONAL's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, PROFESSIONAL is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate 43 K:\420302\Admin\Specs\Specs-Front End\Front End -Remainder\2002GENCOND.doc 1 I 1 1 1 I 1 I I 1 I I I I 1 1 1 'I 1 Waiver of Claims: 14.16.

In such case CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs and court and arbitration costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER: Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL and incorporated in a Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. ,15.3. In the event OWNER terminates the contract for cause and it is subsequently judicially determined that there was no cause for termination, the termination for convenience provision will be the means for disposition of the balance of the contract obligations. Termination for Convenience 15.4. Upon seven working days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the Contract. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without duplication of any items): 15.4.1. For completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work; 15.4.2. ,For expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and . furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses; 15.4.3.

For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination. CONTRACTOR shall no.t ~e paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination. 15.5. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from liability. CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate: 15.6. If through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety calendar days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or PROFESSIONAL fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER fails for thirty-one days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may upon seven working days' written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and provided OWNER or PROFESSIONAL did not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment on the same terms as provided in 15.2.

Sanitary Sewer Overflow Prevention: 17.9 DELETED PROGRAM MANAGER: 17.10 The PROGRAM MANAGER for the project is CH2M HILL, 360 Bay Street, Augusta, GA 30909. The presence or duties of PROGRAM MANAGER's personnel at the construction site, whether as onsite representatives or otherwise, do not make PROGRAM MANAGER or PROGRAM MANAGER's personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to OWNER and / or the CONTRACTOR or other entities, and do not relieve the CONTRACTOR or any other entity of their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction work in accordance with the construction Contract Documents and any health and safety precautions required by such construction work.

Many projects require a more extensive form with space for numerous items, descriptions of Change Orders, identification of variable, quantity adjustments, summary of materials' and equipment stored at the site and other information. It is expected that a separate form will be developed by Engineer and Contractor at the time Contractor's Schedule of Values is finalized. Note also that the format for retainage must be changed if the Contract permits (or the law provides), and Contractor elects to deposit securities in lieu of retainage. Refer to Article 14 of the General Conditions for provisions concerning payments to Contractor. B. COMPLETING THE FORM The Schedule of Values, submitted and approved as provided in paragraphs 2.05.B.3 and 2.07 of the General Conditions, should be reproduced as appropriate in the space indicated on the Application for Payment form. Note that the cost of materials and equipment is often listed separately from the cost of installation. Also, note that each Unit Price is deemed to include Contractor's overhead and profit. All Change Orders affecting the Contract Price should be identified and included in the Schedule of Values as required for progress payments. The form is suitable for use in the Final Application for Payment as well as for Progress Payments; however, the required accompanying documentation is usually more extensive for final payment. All accompanying documentation should be identified in the space provided on the form. C.

GENERAL INFORMATION This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times. Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes. If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed. For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times, a Field Order should be used. . . B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM . Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both. Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval, depending on whether the Change Order'is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both parties. If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.

Laschober, P.E. Re: Subsurface Exploration Horsepen Sewer Augusta, Georgia Job No. U1478, Report No. 27578 OORE, Inc. has completed soil test borings for the referenced project in accordance with our proposal number 02220 dated September 12, 2003. Test boring records are attached. Project Information. The project consists of the addition to several new sanitary sewer lines in Richmond County, Georgia, just east of Fort Gordon. The new lines will be in the upper region of a sub-drainage basin which is downstream and east of Jamestown subdivision. The borings were authorized by your firm to determine rock and groundwater levels at the requested boring locations and to provide an indication of the nature of the excavated materials. Field Exploration Methods. A total of 18 soil test borings were performed at the requested locations throughout the area where the proposed sewer lines will be installed. The borings were performed on Crest Rd. (B1 and B2), Pepperdine Rd. (B3), Whittier PI. (B4), Harwo{)d Dr. (B5), Arrowood Circle (B8 and B9), Yellowood Ct. (B10), the north side of Tobacco Rd. (B11), New Karlene Rd. (B12, B13, and B14), Nance Blvd. (B15), Barker Rd. (B16), and Blackmon Ct. (B17). Borings B6, B7, and B18 were performed off of the road. Boring B6 was performed off of Harwood Dr., Boring B7 was performed off of Arrowood Circle, and boring B18 was performed off of Crest Rd. All borings were completed to their planned termination depths of 10 or 15 _ feet below grade, except for boring B6 which caved in at a depth of five feet. The test boring locations, identified by Profile she~t and station or manhole number, are indicated on each Test Boring Record. 645BFrontage Road ,Augusta.

Our personnel located the soil test borings by estimating right angles and measuring distances from existing features based on the drawings provided. Soil test borings 81 through 85 and 87 through 817 were performed utilizing a truck mounted CME 55 drill rig. The soil test borings were drilled by mechanically advancing hollow stem augers into the ground. Standard penetration tests (SPT) were performed with a rope and cathead at regular' intervals in the borings to estimate soil consistency and to obtain soil samples. Portions of each sample were transported to our laboratory for testing, engineering review, and visual classification. 80rings 86 and 818 were performed with a hand auger and logged in the field our geotechnical engineer. The depth to groundwater was measured in the borings before backfilling the boreholes with auger cuttings. 80rings in paved areas were repaired with a commercially available cold patch material. Soil descriptions, standard penetration test results, and other subsurface data are presented in the Test 80ring Records. The procedures used by OORE for field sampling and testing were performed in general accordance with ASTM procedures and established practice. More detailed descriptions of our drilling procedures are attached. Geology. The site is located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province of Georgia. The Coastal Plain is a wedge-shaped deposit of Cretaceous and younger sediments that range in thickness from near zero at the contact with the Piedmont Physiographic Province (the Fall Line) along its northwest edge, to thousands of feet at the- coast. Coastal Plain soils are marine deposits laid down in the geologic past when ocean levels were higher and can contain various materials including interbedded soft and hard limestones, gravel, sands, silts, and clays, as well as organics. Subsurface Conditions. Soils encountered were typical Coastal Plain soils and refusal was not encountered in any of the borings. Shallow subsurface materials encountered in the borings consisted of a combination of asphalt, topsoil, silty sands and clayey sands. 8elow the shallow subsurface materials, borings 85, 813, 814, 815, and 816 encountered materials determined to be fill. The fill consisted of a combination of very loose to very firm silty sands and plastic clays and ranged in depth from three to 13 feet below grade. 8eneath the shallow subsurface materials in the remaining borings and the fill in the affected borings, a combination of very loose to very dense silty sands and silty clayey sands were encountered to boring termination, except for borings 86 and 815 which encountered materials determined to be soft to very stiff clays. j I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Horsepen Sewer Job No. U1478. Report No. 27578 October 18, 2005 Paqe 3 The above information and our Test Boring Records do not reflect variations in the subsurface conditions, which are likely to exist intermediate of our borings, and in unexplored areas of the site. These variations are due to the inherent variability of the subsurface conditions in this geologic region as well as past land uses. The indicated boundaries between soil strata are approximate and the transitions between strata are generally gradual. Excavation. While none of the borings encountered "refusal", very high consistency soils (standard penetration values of more than 50 blows per foot) were in encountered in borings B2, B4, and B8. We anticipate that these materials can be excavated using a large crawler mounted backhoe. We recommend that the project specifications require that a backhoe comparable to a Caterpillar 235 be used for trench excavation. Groundwater. Groundwater was encountered in borings B5, B6, and B16 at approximate depths of 11, 4.5, and 10.5 feet below the ground surface, respectively. Boring B 18 did not encounter any groundwater at the time of this exploration, but it is in an area that receives surface sheet flow runoff from a large surrounding area. Depending on seasonal rainfall, future groundwater levels may be encountered at depths different from those identified in our borings. It is likely that permanent groundwater at this site. will be encountered during construction. Because of the length of the project and variation of subsurface conditions, different types of dewatering systems will be required. In areas where the subsurface materials have a relatively low permeability (stiff to hard clayey soils) drainage trenches and/or pumping from shallow sumps may be suitable for temporary dewatering of the excavation. In areas where silty sands (SM) or clayey sands (SC) are present below the groundwater level, the water level should be lowered and maintained at least 3 feet below the proposed bearing level to permit excavation and construction without disturbing the foundation soils. In areas where broken line streams or significant surface drainage flow is anticipated to be interrupted by construction activities, alternate conduits should be considered to handle the flow. Large flow volumes can degrade the structural continuity of excavations and bearing materials. Fill Placement. In grassed or non load bearing areas most of the excavated soils should be suitable for backfill. Fill in these areas should be placed in lifts no greater than 12 inches thick and compacted to least 90 percent of the soil's maximum dry density as determined by the standard . Proctor compaction test. Trenches beneath paved areas or future structures should be backfilled to their design subgrade levels with structural fill. Structural fill is defined as inorganic natural soil with maximum particle size of 1 inch and a maximum plasticity index of 30. Structural fill should I I I I I- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Horsepen Sewer Job No. U1478. Report No. 27578 October 18, 2005 Paqe 4 be placed in relatively thin (4- to 8-inch) layers and compacted to at least 95 percent of the soil's standard Proctor maximum dry density. The upper 1-foot of all structural fill beneath pavements should be compacted to at least 98 percent. In our opinion, the sand soils (classifications SM and SC) can be used as a source of structural fill with some wetting or drying to obtain the required density. The clay soils (CL and CH) may also be used for backfill, but significant wetting or drying may be required to obtain the required densities. In areas where these soils are below the water table or are otherwise wet, it may be more economical to import select fill for areas beneath structures and pavements. Field Density Testing. We recommend that density testing be performed on a full-time basis during placement of structural fill beneath roadways and structures. During full-time density testing, the test frequency can be determined by our personnel based on the area to be tested, the equipment used, and construction schedule. Tests should be performed at vertical intervals of 2 feet or less as the fill is being placed. We recommend density testing by a technician working under the direction of our project engineer. OORE appreciates the opportunity to perform ,these borings. We can provide additional services necessary to develop this project, including environmental assessment. Please call us if you have any questions about this report or our services.

Re: Subsurface Exploration Horsepen Sewer Augusta, Georgia Job No. U1478, Report No. 27578 , OORE, Inc. has completed soil test borings for the referenced project in accordance with our proposal number 02220 dated September 12, 2003. Test boring records are attached. Project Information. The project consists of the addition to several new sanitary sewer lines in Richmond County, Georgia, just east of Fort Gordon. The new lines will be in the upper region of a sub-drainage basin which is downstream and east of Jamestown subdivision. The borings were authorized by your firm to determine rock and groundwater levels at the requested boring locations and to provide an indication of the nature of the excavated materials. Field Exploration Methods. A total of 18 soil test borings were performed at the requested locations throughout the area where the proposed sewer lines will be installed. The borings were performed on Crest Rd. (81 and 82), Pepperdine Rd. (83), Whittier PI. (84), Harwood Dr. (85), Arrowood Circle (88 and 89), Yellowood Ct. (810), the north side of Tobacco Rd. (811), New, Karlene Rd. (812, 813, andB14), Nance 8lvd. (815), 8arker Rd. (816), and 81ackmon Ct. (817). 80rings 86, 87, and .818 were performed off of the road. 80ring 86 was performed off of Harwood Dr., 80ring 87 was performed off of Arrowood Circle, and boring 81.8 was performed off of Crest Rd. All borings were completed to their planned termination' depths of 10 or 15 feet below grade, except for boring 86 which caved in at a depth of five feet. The test boring locations, identified by Profile sheet and station or manhole number, are indicated on each Test 80ring Record. 645B frontage Road", Augusta.

Our personnel located the soil test borings by estimating right angles and measuring distances from existing features based on the drawings provided. Soil test borings 81 through B5 and B7 through B17 were performed utilizing a truck mounted CME 55 drill rig. The soil test borings were drilled by mechanically advancing hollow stem augers into the ground. Standard penetration tests (SPT) were performed with a rope and cathead at regular intervals in the borings to estimate soil consistency and to obtain soil samples. Portions of each sample were transported to our laboratory for testing, engineering review, and visual classification. Borings B6 and B 18 were performed with a hand auger and logged in the field our geotechnical engineer. The depth to groundwater wa~ measured in the borings before backfilling the boreholes with auger cuttings. Borings in paved areas were repaired ~ith a commercially available cold patch material. Soil descriptions, standard penetration test results, and other subsurface data are presented in the Test Boring Records. The procedures used by OORE for field sampling and testing were performed in general accordance with ASTM procedures and established practice. More detailed descriptions of our drilling procedures are attached. Geology. The site is ,located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province of Georgia. The Coastal Plain is a wedge-shaped deposit of Cretaceous and younger sediments that range in thickness from neqr zero at the contact with the Piedmont Physiographic Province (the Fall Line) along its northwest edge, to thousands of feet at the coast. Coastal Plain soils are marine deposits laid down in the geologic past when ocean levels were higher and can contain various materials including interbedded soft and hard limestones, gravel, saQds, silts, and clays, as well as organics. Subsurface Conditions. Soils encountered were typical Coastal Plain soils and refusal was not encountered in any of the borings. Shallow subsurface materials encountered in the borings consisted of a combination of asphalt, topsoil, silty sands and clayey sands. Below the shallow subsurface materials, borings B5, B 13, B 14, B 15, and B 16 encountered materials determined to be fill. The fill consisted of a combination of very loose to very firm silty sands and plastic clays and ranged in depth from three to 13 feet below grade. Beneath the shallow subsurface materials in the remaining borings and the fill in the affected borings, a combination of very loose to very dense silty sands and silty clayey sands were encountered to boring termination, except for borings B6 and B 15 which encountered materials determined to be soft to very stiff . clays. .. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Horsepen Sewer Job No. U1478, Report No. 27578 October 18, 2005 Paqe 3 The above information and our Test 80ring Records do not reflect variations in the subsurface conditions, which are likely to exist intermediate of our borings, and in unexplored areas of the site. These variations are due to the inherent variability of the subsurface conditions in this geologic region as well as past land uses. The indicated boundaries between soil strata are ' approximate and the transitions between strata are generally gradual. Excavation. While none of the borings encountered "refusal", very high consistency soils (standard penetration values of more than 50 blows per foot) were in encountered in borings 82, 84, and 88. We anticipate that these materials can be excavated using a large crawle~ mounted backhoe. We recommend that the project specifications require that a backhoe comparable to a Caterpillar 235 be used for trench excavation. Groundwater. Groundwater was encountered in borings 85, 86, and 816 at approximate depths of 11, 4.5, and 10.5 feet below the ground surface, respectively. 80ring 818 did not encounter any groundwater at the time of this exploration, but it is in an area that receives surface sheet flow runoff from a large surrounding area. Depending on seasonal rainfall, future groundwater levels may be encountered at depths different from those identified in our borings. It is likely that permanent groundwater at this site will be encountered during construction. Because of the length of the project and variation of subsurface conditions, different types of dewatering systems will be required. In areas where the subsurface materials have a relatively low permeability (stiff to hard clayey soils) drainage trenches and/or pumping from shallow sumps may be suitable for temporary dewatering of the excavation. In areas where silty sands (SM) or clayey sands (SC) are present below the groundwater level, the water level should be lowered and maintained at least 3 feet below the proposed bearing level to permit excavation and construction without disturbing the foundation soils. In areas where broken line streams or significant surface drainage flow is anticipated to be interrupted by construction activities, alternate conduits should be considered to handle the flow. Large flow volumes can degrade the structural continuity of excavations and bearing materials. Fill Placement. In grassed or non load bearing areas m.ost of the excavated soils should be suitable for backfill. Fill in these areas should be placed in lifts no greater than 12 inches thick and - . compacted to least 90 percent of the soil's maximum dry density as determined by the standard Proctor compaction test. Trenches beneath paved areas orJuture structures should be backfilled to their design subgrade levels with structural fill. Structural fill is defined as inorganic natural soil with maximum particle siie of 1 inch and a maximum plasticity index of 30. Structural fill should I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Horsepen Sewer Job No. U1478. Report No. 27578 October 18, 2005 Paqe 4 be placed in relatively thin (4- to 8-inch) layers and compacted to at least 95 percent of the soil's standard Proctor maximum dry density. The upper 1-foot of all structural fill beneath pavements should be compacted to at least 98 percent. In our opinion, the sand soils (classifications SM and SC) can be used as a source of structural fill with some wetting or drying to obtain the required density. The clay soils (CL and CH) may also be used for backfill, but significant wetting or drying may be required to obtain the required densities. ,In areas where these soils are below the water table or are otherwise wet, it may be more economical to import select fill for areas beneath structures and pavements. Field Density Testing. We recommend that density testing be performed on a full-time basis during placement of structural fill beneath roadways and structures,' During full-time density testing, the test frequency can be determined by our personnel based on the area to be tested, the equipment used, and construction schedule. Tests should be performed at vertical intervals of 2 feet or less as the fill is being placed. We recommend density testing by a technician working under the direction of our project engineer: OORE appreciates the opportunity to perform these borings. We can provide additional services necessary to develop this project, including environmental assessment. Please call us if you have any questions about this report or our services.

At regular intervals, soil samples were obtained through the hollow augers with a standard 1.4-inch 1.0., 2.0-inch 0.0. split-tube sampler. The sampler was initially seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings; then driven an additional foot with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches actuated by a rope and cathead. The number of hammer blows required to drive the sampler the final foot was recorded and is 'designated as the standard penetration resistance. Penetration resistance, when properly evaluated, is an index to soil strength and density. In the field, the driller logged and described the samples as they were obtained. Representative portions of each soil sample were then sealed in labeled glass jars and transported to our laboratory.' The samples were examined by a graduate geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist to visually check the field descriptions. Boring data, including sample intervals, penetration resistances, soil descriptions, and groundwater level are shown on the attached Test Boring Records.

A geotechnical engineering study con- ducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of a construc- tion contractor or even another civil engineer. Because each geot- echnical engineering study is unique, each geotechnical engi- neering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. No one except you should rely on your geotechnical engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who pre- pared it. And no one-not even you-should apply the report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated. Read the Full Report Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a. geotechnical engineering report did not read it all. DO not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. ' A GeotaJchnical Engineering Repanrt Is Based on A Unique Set of Project-Specifuc FactoS's Geotechnical engineers consider a number of unique, project-spe- cific factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk management pref- erences; the general nature of the structure involved, its size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates other- wise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was: . not prepared for you, . not prepared for your project, . not prepared for the specific site explored, or . completed before important project changes were made. Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnical engineering report include those that affect: . the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse, . . elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure, . composition of the design team, or . project ownership. As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes-even minor ones-and request an assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which they were not informed. Subsurface Conditions Can Change A geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. 00 not rely on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time; by man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site; or by natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctua- tions. Always contact the geotechnical engineer before apply- ing the report to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent major problems. Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional Opinions Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory data and then apply their professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sub- surface conditions may differ-sometimes significantly-from those indicated in your report. Retainingthe geotechnical engi- neer who developed your report to provide construction obser- vation is the most effective method of managing the risks asso- ciated with unanticipated conditions. I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I - A Repopt's Recommendations Are Not Final Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your report. Those recommendations are not final, because geotechnical engineers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finaliz? their recom- mendations only by observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the report's recommendations if that engineer does not perform construction observation. A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Subject To Misinterpretation . Other design team members' misinterpretation of geotechnical engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Lower that risk by having y<?u'r geotechnical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti- nent elements of the design team's plans and specifications. Contractors can also misin'terpret a geotechnical engineering report. Reduce that risk by having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing construction observation. Do Not Redraw the Engineer's logs Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photo- graphic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk. Give Contractors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistake~ly believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface condi- , tions by lilliiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give contractors the complete geotech- nical engineering report, but preface it with a clearly written let- ter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the repo,rt's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to conduct addition2~ study to obtain the specific types of information they need (" 'prefer. A' prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors havesufti- cient time to perform additional study. Only then might you be in a position to give contractors the best information available to you, while requiring themto at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Read ResponSibility Provisions Closely Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exaCt than other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that have led to' disappoint- ments; claims, and disputes. To help reduce such risks, geot- echnical engineers commonly include a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations", many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engi- neers' responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should' respond fully and frankly. Geoenvironmentai Concerns Are Not Cov81'ed The equipment; techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenvironmental study differ significantly from those used to , perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering report does not usually relate any geoenvironmen- tal findings, conclusions, or recommendation:;; e.g., ~bout the likeliho.od of encountering underground ~torage tanks, or regu- lated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have led to numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own geoenvironmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk management guidance. 00 not rely on an environmental report prepared for someone else.

Scope 1.1 This test method covers procedures for testing precast concrete manhole sections when using the vacuum test method to demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials and the construction procedures. This test method is used for testing concrete manhole sections utilizing mortar, lllaStiC, or'gasketed joints. ' 1.2 This test method is int~nded to be used as a pri:diminalY test to enable the installer to demonsu'ate the condition of the cOl1;crete manholes pIior to backfill. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with. its use. It is the respol}-sibiliiy of the user of this standard to establish appro- priqte safety and health practices and deter!nine the appiica- biliiyofregulatory limitations prior to us~. 1.4 This test method is' the companion to metIic Test Method ~;1244jvl; therefore. no SI equivalents are shown in this test method, I I I I I NOTE I-Vacuum test criteria presented in this test method are similar to those in general use. The test and criteria have been widelv and successfully used in testing manholes.

A vacuum will be drawn and the'vacuum drop over a specified time period is used to detelTniije the acceptability of the manhole. 5. Significance and Use 5.1 This is not a routine test. The values recorded are applicable only to the manhole being tested and at the time of testing. 6. Preparation of the Manhole 6.1 All lift holes shall be plugged, 6.2 All pipes entering the manhole shall be temporaIily plugged, taking care to securely brace the pipes and plugs to prevent them from being drawn into the manhole. 7. Procedure 7.1 The test head shall be placed at the top of the rnanhol~ in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, 7.2 A vacuum of 10 in. Hg shall be drawn on the manhole, the valve on the vacuum line of the test head closed, and the vacuum pump shut off. The time shall be meaSured for the vacuum to drop to 9 in.
